“I can always find a sense of home in the past.

After all, without the continuous memories of the past,

How can there be a present?”

—BBC Documentary, “Civilisations”

“我总能在过去找到归家的感觉

毕竟 没有那连绵不断的过往记忆

又何来今朝呢”

—BBC 纪录片《文明Civilisations》

This series of art history documentaries produced by BBC explores thousands of years of human civilization’s development through artworks, covering six continents, 31 countries, and over 500 works of art. Over two years of planning ensured a comprehensive presentation of societal landscapes. Each one-hour episode explores the “origins of human creativity,” “ways of seeing art,” and the “progress of global civilizations” through an artistic lens.

To avoid any subjective bias influencing the audience, BBC invited three presenters. They include Simon Schama, an art history professor at Columbia University, Mary Beard, a classics professor at the University of Cambridge, and David Olusoga, a British historian of Nigerian descent. All of them are top academic researchers and professors in the fields of art and history.

为避免任何个人主观色彩影响观众的看法,BBC请来了三位主讲人。哥伦比亚大学艺术史教授 Simon Schama,剑桥大学的古典学教授 Mary Beard,以及尼日利亚裔英国历史学家 David Olusoga 。他们都是艺术、历史方面的顶级学术研究者和顶尖大学的教授。

The documentaries turn the complex and difficult-to-understand history into visually stunning frames, akin to a visual feast. It allows you to better understand how relics carry the trajectories of human development.

03 我在故宫修文物 Restoring Relics at the Forbidden City

Douban Rating: 9.4

豆瓣:9.4 分

“One palace gate separates two lives, as pairs of hands reveal secrets spanning a thousand years.”

“一道宫门,分割两种生活,一双双手向你揭露穿越千年的秘密。”

This project took nearly six years of research, with continuous filming over several months, to share the daily lives of relic restorers.

这一部经历快六年的项目调研,数月不间断拍摄向你分享文物修复师的日常。

Spanning the Ming and Qing dynasties of Chinese history, the Forbidden City, built 600 years ago, houses numerous ancient art treasures. According to statistics, it has a total of 1,052,653 pieces, accounting for one-sixth of China’s total relics, making it a world-renowned ancient cultural and art museum. Among these, many relics are irreplaceable national treasures, like the “Qingming Shanghe Tu,” Yunwen Pan, and Qingyu Cloud Dragon Pattern Stove. These precious treasures have experienced wear and tear throughout the tumultuous centuries, even under maximum protection.

Since the establishment of the Palace Museum, generations of relic restorers, adhering to the master-apprentice system, have walked through the red walls of the Forbidden City. They take loneliness as a norm in their lives, and are willing to spend decades giving new life to relics with their magical hands and top-notch restoration skills.

跨越中国历史明清两代,建成近600年历史的故宫里面收藏有大量古代艺术珍品,据统计共达1052653件,占中国文物总数的六分之一,也是世界著名的古代文化艺术博物馆,其中很多文物是绝无仅有的无价国宝。像是《清明上河图》、云纹盘、青玉云龙纹炉等等。这些人类珍贵的宝物,历经百年历史的沧桑在最大保护下或多或少变得残缺不堪。

从故宫博物院建院那一刻起,一批以师徒制的文物修复师,一代又一代走入紫禁城的红墙,通过他们化腐朽为神奇的双手和顶级修复能力,把孤独看作是生活的常态,甘于花费数十年去给予一件件的文物的新生。
